Grace is a determined sixteen-year-old caught between hope and fear as she searches for a cure to the illness that took her mother away. Working alongside top scientists in a genetics lab, she uncovers a breakthrough that might change everything — but as her own mind begins to falter, she must confront the possibility that the disease could be affecting her too.
